Problem with some PGS subtitle files
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2025 3:48 pm
Hi, I am trying to extract some foreign TV shows and in some rare cases, MakeMKV cannot properly extract PGS subtitles.
The disc have 3 subtitle files and 8 chapters. After extraction and playing in VLC, 2 of the subtitle tracks only shows for the first chapter, with the remaining ~2hrs of content showing no subtitles. However, 1 of the subtitle track shows normally for all 8 chapters.
When playing the disc BDMV directly through VLC, all 3 subtitle tracks shows normally for all chapters.
I tried extracting the SUP files directly from the ripped MKV file and found that 1 of them is significantly larger than the other 2 (150MB vs 19MB vs 18MB)
Is there a specific reason that MakeMKV could not pull the whole subtitle file for particular PGS? I tried just ripping 1 subtitle with the same result
I thought there may be some errors in the read / dump process, but there is no error shown even in debug mode. I tried backing up the disc and decrypting it with the same result
Any suggestions? Thanks
